So I’ve started some of the python lessons here, but now I want to keep applying what I have learned. What do I need/what are the best things to download so I can begin programming my own things in python? I’m running a Windows 10 OS on a Surface Pro 3.

Use Brackets, it’s a pretty good editor except it’s a bit laggy for me.
It has some good highlighting and stuff, so I would recommend it!
And also learn Python, it’s an excellent language for beginners like you.
